Minnesota is on the cusp of electing a governor who will help shape the state in truly transformational times. Who will that be? I am supporting Matt Dean, and I encourage you to as well.

In his time in the legislature, Matt has been an unwavering pro-life champion by defending those most vulnerable; the unborn, the disabled and the elderly. Matt has consistently led the effort to honor life from conception to natural death.

As chair of the Health and Human Services Committee, Matt has led the charge to unshackle Minnesota from MNsure, the bureaucratic embodiment of Obamacare. At the same time, he has compassionately defended the disabled, and those particularly impacted by the financial burdens of the Affordable Care Act, the hardworking Minnesota families who struggle to pay their health insurance premiums and deductibles.

Let’s face it, the federal government has made a mess of healthcare, and no state has paid a higher price than Minnesota. Minnesota can once again lead the country in healthcare instead of following Washington DC off the Obamacare cliff. Now more than ever, we need leaders with the integrity to do what’s right and not be blown off course by fear or fads.

In my time in the US Senate, and now in my work in public policy, I have defended our most precious freedoms. I thank you for what you are doing to right the ship in Minnesota. 2018 will be a pivotal year for your state. I hope you will join me in supporting Matt Dean for governor.
